Mariam Parekh is a clinical psychologist practicing in Colorado. She holds licenses as a Colorado Psychologist (PSY.0004802) and a California Psychologist (34220) and has worked in the field since 2016. Mariam draws on a decade of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma.

She takes a practical approach in sessions and focuses on clear goals people can track. Mariam uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods to help clients notice small changes and build new habits. She also brings in ideas from psychodynamic work to understand patterns that repeat across relationships.

Mariam has experience with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, communication struggles, addiction, and coping after disaster. She offers help with family and relationship challenges as they affect individuals, along with support for recovery from domestic violence and eating-related concerns.

Her work emphasizes strengths and positive psychology so clients can reconnect with values that matter to them. Sessions aim to help people recognize progress and celebrate steps forward rather than treating distress as a flaw. Outside of practice she spends time with her son and reads fantasy novels to keep a creative balance.

People who prefer clear goals, measurable steps, and a blend of practical skills plus exploration of underlying patterns may find her style helpful when managing health-related stress and life changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving tools to change patterns in thinking and behavior.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and strengthening communication. It is useful when strong reactions get in the way of relationships and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, review worksheets, and talk through difficult moments in ways that fit everyday life.
